Nubian Goats
Nubian goats are dairy goats, but were originally bred as a dual purpose breed. If you were to compare the goats to cow breeds, the Nubian goat is closest to the Jersey cow. They give a wonderfully high butterfat great for making butter and cheese. Nubians will average around a gallon a day per doe, however, a top Nubian can produce 2 gallons a day, but like anything else, will be a harder keeper. We like the one-gallon mark as they are still able to hold their weight with little grain and stress to their bodies.
Our Nubian's love attention. We look forward to every spring for the cute goat kids we will get. Being bottle fed from birth, they come running when called, oddly enough they remind us of cats. They choose who they will show affection to and climbing and jumping every where. Nubian goats can also be used as pack animals or for pulling a small cart, but you must make sure that you condition them slowly to build the muscle to do the work. They are a great addition to any small acreage and family, The are easy to take care of and just enough milk to not overwhelm you like a cow can.
